Icky fluid in bird

Meat Bird ? I was slaughtering some 10wk old Cornish today and had one with an abdomen full of yellow fluid. Her heart was small and the liver looked really congested. Any thoughts? We sent her along, since I didn't know the origin of the fluid.

CX are known for developing heart failure due to their rapid growth. This often results in fluid in the chest cavity. From others on this forum I have learned that fluid in the chest cavity does not make the meat unsafe to cook and eat.
